You Can Now Buy a Fully-Restored Sherman Tank

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to buy a beautifully refurbished and fully-functional Sherman tank named Madeline is currently slipping through your fingers. The model M4A2E8 tank is currently up for auction on eBay, but time is dwindling — assuming this beauty's $550,000 price tag hasn't already ripped the opportunity from your hands.

Even if you're reading this and happen to have serious dough to blow, you're probably thinking, "Why would I buy an outdated and demilitarized tank when there are so many other cooler vehicles to buy?" Well, you have a point. With that kind of cash, you could buy a Ferrari California for the relatively modest price of $200,000. Or you could splurge on a brand spankin' new Lamborghini Aventador for $400,000. Hell, you could really swing for the big leagues and buy the 2003 classic Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren for $455,000.
